where to enter the recaptcha credentials - or insert an own captcha system?

hysoft

Hi I am new to vanilla and just installed a vanillaforum to my site.
First of all thanks for sharing this piece of software with me.
Now my question:
In the first steps of setting up vanillaforums displayed a dialog box that wanted to have some credentials
for the recaptcha stuff... I clicked it away because I already have a custom made captcha system running on my site.
After setup I noticed new users can't register due to the missing recaptcha...
)-;
So I assume it is essential to have a custom made reCaptcha in the forum.
Meanwhile I got myself credentials for my site in order to get reCaptcha running
but I do not find any place where to enter these credentials.
I searched the forum and doc for two hours. Thanks in advance.

to paraphrase underdog, my crystal ball says you may be talking about vanilla version 2.1, but you may be talking about a different version of vanilla entirely. If you are using vanilla 2.1 - you could set to basic registration via config.php and use the http://vanillaforums.org/addon/addregistrationquestion-plugin

in this way you can bypass the use of captcha and still have some applicant spam prevention.

sometimes it just a scavenger hunt. sometimes a crystal ball.

you could look at the plugin mentioned and others for ideas how to validate and add to forms. also wiki has some info as well.

Thanks for your answer. I found the place where to add the credentials and will stick to it as long as I am testing. If I am in need of using my own captchas
(which have not been pwned by now) I will get back to you. Thanks

agreed - I don't know why they removed the background color of quotes or something about it - it was really one million times +- 1 better before. so we know it can be done
